ADVANCED OBEDIENCE
“With our advanced lessons, we tailor the training towards what the owner specifically needs,” explains Dylan Beck, our Training Director. “After establishing formal obedience with the basic commands, we can start layering on more advanced commands or focus on helping with the distraction part of training.”
At Off Leash K9 Training Columbus, we know the biggest challenges occur in distracting environments. Our advanced dog obedience training classes in Columbus are designed to address these real-world scenarios.
The advanced program builds on our formal obedience foundation by:
- Adding specialized commands based on your specific needs
- Training in higher-distraction environments
- Creating reliable responses through proofing obedience
- Working on distance control and more complex behaviors
The goal of Advanced Obedience lessons is to help your dog respond more reliably to commands even in distracting environments and at greater distances from you.
